Epic 16X - Carbon Kevlar Sea Kayak
Description
Selling my Epic 16X sea kayak, in excellent showroom-like condition. $2,475
Includes paddle, spray skirt and pfd so you’re good to go.
The Epic 16X combines stability, maneuverability, and speed for touring paddlers of all abilities–so stable, anyone could paddle it. Fully loaded, it will carry supplies for a week-long trip; lightly loaded it will dance on flat water or in the surf all afternoon. A fast, light (41 lbs), maneuverable sea kayak they don’t make anymore.
This fairly young (2016) 16X includes Epic’s Track Master steering system: easy-to-adjust foot braces with “gas pedal” controls above the braces. The seat is very comfortable, and also fully adjustable.
Hatches are huge and completely watertight, with enough storage space for day trips or overnight excursions. The unique hinged cover for the day hatch is easy to open and close if you need to grab gear while on the water.
The hull design, with vertical bow and stern, provides a longer waterline than any other 16-foot sea kayak; this enhances speed and paddling efficiency. Front deck cutaways allow for a closer, more efficient stroke.
This is a quick, attractive, well thought out kayak that you’ll love.
[The Epic has been stored under cover, out of the elements. I am the second owner.]
